-Now consider [[applications#​square matrices]]. For matrix multiplication with `n`-dimenional square matrices we have an //​Identity//,​ the //Unit// for multiplication,​ like `1` in the scalars, +

-Consider: `  X=xI=[ [x,​0],​[0,​x] ​],`  2\({\times}\)2 matrix `A` and the 2D vector where `V` is \(\bf v\written as single column matrix. ​\(xA=XA=AX\ \) and \(x\bf v\) corresponds to \(XV\). +

-`X` is the simple linear transformation in 2D geometric space of scaling by `x` around the origin. In 2D vector space it is stretching the vectors by `x`, identical to scalar multiplication. Multiplying another 2\({\times}\)2 matrix results in composing the transformations into a single transformation,​ in the case of `X` it is the same as scalar multiplication by `x`. +
